[tmcneel]

Thank You very much, as an inspiring jazz musician this type of content is essential to my journey with the genre. Once again thank your very much!

i totally agree with you in the fact that coltrane´s music has somethin of "healing" factor, in fact, sometimes it even seems sacred to me, in the sense that it´s like "god" is talking to you through his sax, and when you hear the music it changes instantally your mood (i Can´t listen "Alabama" and stay angry for example) ), i love a lot of differents musicians, but this only happens to me with coltrane´s music

[JazzVideoGuy]

@guitapie1 Totally agree.

[LALJazz]

So where do we get the video?

[JazzVideoGuy]

@LALJazz You can view on YouTube, or purchase from Amazon. It's part of the Jazz Icons series,

Jazz Icons: John Coltrane Live in '60, '61 & '65

[gsco82]

I agree. Listening to Coltrane can be a transformative experience. My favorite pieces are Giant Steps and Mr. PC.

[JazzVideoGuy]

@gsco82 He left us so much.

I thought I was alone in feeling the healing qualities, glad I was wrong :-) Keep up the good work. With my son (18 years old) and you doing the work, all I have to do is enjoy.

[gbailoor]

i absolutely love this song. i agree with the healing qualities of 'trane's music, which are highly metaphysical, yet euphoric. another song of his that comes to my mind, when i hear 'naima', is 'after the rain', which is similarly laid back, but intense at the same time. thanks for reminding us of the video. :)

[UnitedEffect]

Its' healing qualities...you got that right!! Love these videos and your recommendations.

Keep them coming!

[speakeasynyc]

It's boring to see jazz video's? Only if one hates jazz, and that person probably hates sunshine too.

[JazzVideoGuy]

@speakeasynyc Yikes!

[Guitfiddlejase]

Brett,Thank you so much for posting this.Boring to watch jazzers??? Not me man.No way.Thank you Brett,you really make it worthwhile for me here..."the healing qualities"...yes Sir. I like that.

[JazzVideoGuy]

@Guitfiddlejase Thanks so much!

[billystrayhornsghost]

This is a classic.Got to be one of the best ballads of all time.I agree it does not matter how you're feeling this tune just lifts you.

[StonierWilliam]

Beautiful

[jrsjrs9]

[JazzVideoGuy]

@jrsjrs9 Can't stop now!

[stralejazzpiano]

We share the same  feeling about this video and Coltrane's music. Keep makin' jazz visible! Amen.

[gotgliss]

Beautiful rendering of Naima!

[TheDrRogers]

Excellent Choice and explanation!!1 Keep Up the Good JazzWork!!!

[JazzVideoGuy]

@TheDrRogers OK Doc, I'll keep fighting the good fight, thanks to your support.

[2005rosebud]

Keep up the good work. You teach the masses.

[JazzyZenBrotha]

I completely agree. I play John Coltrane to heal me as well. Just like you said, If I'm down, his music brings me up. If I'm happy, Trane's music uplifts me even further

[2005rosebud]

I wish there was less talk and more music as of late.

[JazzVideoGuy]

@2005rosebud For these video blogs, there is a lot of talk. If you want more music, check my other 750 videos. What do you like, musically?

[Slamule]

JazzVideoGuy Wow!! Bret I hadn't seen this video before, music does not get more powerful than this. Thanks for the insight.

[JazzVideoGuy]

@Slamule The power of Trane's music will never diminish.

[TimyCovert]

Giant Steps is one of my top jazz records. The vid you're talking about is amazing, I once couldn't find it anymore and then I remember it's the one with smoke coming out of Elvin Jones !

[JazzVideoGuy]

@TimyCovert Is that wild, with the music and the smoke!

[FlyingJazzPig]

One of my favourites here on YT. Nice to know, that other people share the exaltation that i have while watching this video.

The energy of this recording is just incredible.

[JazzVideoGuy]

@FlyingJazzPig I could watch this every day.

[StromboliKicks]

I've seen this video a lot of times too. Specially when I'm feeling down, but it's also good to show me that even If I don't understand all the jazz language, I can feel it.

And Coltrane is really a master, because he transmits those feelings really well. All the quartet is perfect for that.. McCoy Tyner solo is just.. mind blowing.

[JazzVideoGuy]

@StromboliKicks That expression really applies here, MIND BLOWING
